, /PRNewswire/ — UOB Asset Management (Malaysia) Berhad (UOBAM (Malaysia)) has launched the United Global Premium Opportunity Fund (UGPROF or the Fund), Malaysia’s first global equity wholesale feeder fund that combines high-quality dividend stocks with a single-stock covered call overwriting strategy.

The single-stock covered call overwriting strategy aims to enhance income by selling call options on stocks its own, earning premiums while maintaining exposure to strong companies. This approach seeks to balance income generation with growth potential, making it suitable for investors who are willing to accept the volatility and risks of investing in global equities.

Ms Lim Suet Ling, Chief Executive Officer of UOBAM (Malaysia), announces the launch of the United Global Premium Opportunity Fund aims to balance income generation with growth potential for investors.

Ms Lim Suet Ling, Chief Executive Officer of UOBAM (Malaysia) said, “As investors face rising concentration risks, macroeconomic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and trade tensions such as US tariffs, global diversification has never been more critical. Pairing this with an income and growth strategy helps investors capture opportunities and generate returns.

UGPROF offers exposure across major markets including the US, Europe, and Asia, leveraging tech innovation, value sectors, and regional recovery while balancing income generation with long-term growth potential.”

The UGPROF primarily invests in the Fidelity Funds – Global Dividend Plus Fund (Target Fund), managed by Fidelity International. The Fund will be investing a minimum of 90 per cent of its net asset value (NAV) in the Target Fund with the remaining balance in liquid assets which include money market instruments and deposits.

The Target Fund adopts a bottom-up investment process, focusing on companies with strong fundamentals and resilient business models. It prioritises consistent dividend growers over boarder market trends, with key exposures in sectors such as consumer staples, healthcare, financials, and industrials.
